SUMMARY: The Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing 

an opportunity for the public to 

comment on CMS’ intention to collect 

information from the public. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), federal agencies are required to 

publish notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension or reinstatement of an existing 

collection of information, and to allow 

a second opportunity for public 

comment on the notice. Interested 

persons are invited to send comments 

regarding the burden estimate or any 

other aspect of this collection of 

information, including the necessity and 

utility of the proposed information 

collection for the proper performance of 

the agency’s functions, the accuracy of 

the estimated burden, ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected and the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden.

OMB desk officer by February 21, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of 

information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 

3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and 

includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies 

to publish a 30-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension or 

reinstatement of an existing collection 

of information, before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, CMS is 

publishing this notice that summarizes 

the following proposed collection(s) of 

information for public comment: 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Bid Pricing Tool 

(BPT) for Medicare Advantage (MA) 

Plans and Prescription Drug Plans 

(PDP); Use: We require that Medicare 

Advantage organizations and 

Prescription Drug Plans complete the 

BPT as part of the annual bidding 

process. During this process, 

organizations prepare their proposed 

actuarial bid pricing for the upcoming 

contract year and submit them to us for 

review and approval. The purpose of the 

BPT is to collect the actuarial pricing 

information for each plan. The BPT 

calculates the plan’s bid, enrollee 

premiums, and payment rates. We 

publish beneficiary premium 

information using a variety of formats 

(www.medicare.gov, the Medicare & You 

handbook, Summary of Benefits 

marketing information) for the purpose 

of beneficiary education and
